Vice President, Content & Communications
Content, it is said, “is King”. It takes many familiar forms and is crucial in a world where users and industry observers consume a large volume of information before making a purchase decision or forming an opinion about a company. As a creative content strategist and communications professional, I generate and oversee the production of the engaging content organizations need to better position their solutions in the global marketplace.
I have a background in political communications and journalism, and a demonstrated track-record of building data-driven content programs for hyper-growth organizations, Fortune 500 companies, startups and digital publications at a global scale. In addition to managing editorial and creative direction, I develop messaging architectures that inform brand identity, public and analyst relations, product launches and multi-channel marketing campaigns. Whether it’s a website, blog post, infographic, long-form article or video script, I tell compelling stories that increase awareness, establish trust, and build advocacy.

20+ years in tech. Insatiable passion for building business.
I’m known for my no-nonsense approach to brand development & product marketing, good storytelling, and most of all - getting shit done. I champion a very hands-on approach, and I thrive in an environment where things need to move quickly and their impact is seen immediately. Most of all, I like to build things and see them grow. Whether it's leading brand & marketing for Huddle since its infancy to becoming the global leader in collaboration for government & enterprise. Or building a digital media and mobile consultancy whose clients included Disney, Nokia, Toshiba and Garmin. Or keeping my hands dirty while advising 50+ companies across software, hardware, mobile, telecommunications & networking and engineering.
I'm good at brand identity, brand management, integrated marketing, customer & user acquisition, online marketing, product marketing, content marketing, email marketing, inbound marketing, outbound marketing, communications strategy, media relations, analyst relations, crisis communications, internal communications, social media, geographic expansion.
